Winter’s in full swing, but I’ll be under the sun in Phoenix, Arizona… followed by Tokyo!

Phoenix’s tourism board is flying me in and hosting me on a December press trip. I’ll be making videos and blogs, about ghost towns and alternative culture (yes, it does exist here!) Excited to visit for the first time.

Do you have travel suggestions for me? Must-visit destinations? Let me know in the comments or on my Facebook.

Additionally, the Pirates will be in Tokyo, Japan in early 2013, to work on a big TV show. More details soon, and keep your eyes on this blog for casting notices (you can possibly join our filming).

Since you enjoyed my Hello Kitty store photos, here’s more fashion from Hong Kong. Causeway Bay is one of my favorite shopping districts, specializing in Japanese style.

Bread n Butter’s feminine collections are modeled by Angelababy.

Inside the Japanese department store Laforet are shoes fit for Lady Gaga.

The spirit of Marie Antoinette is alive.

Gyaru-style glittery, strappy heels. The ones on the right are decorated with candy gems.

I wish you were coming to Tucson…It’s only 90 minutes away. I’d love to finally meet you in person. ^_^

How long will you be in AZ? You mentioned ghost hunting definitely check out Vulture Mine! I’ve been there twice now and it’s been featured on a ton of ghost hunting shows and other press. Also, wile your here you should check out some of the few goth clubs here! I would be happy to show you around. Oh also there is a really epic haunted hotel in Bisbee but it is on the Mexican border.
